Forgive my Digression by ~Renee85:iconRenee85:



Forgive my digression
I need an outlet of expression
All of this energy its killing me
It needs to be directed
Too much time spent introspected
Now it needs to be reflected

So I create a mirror with my words
Organizing thoughts into herds
Through the many twists and curves
I try to create coherent meaning
Conducting a sort of mental screening
Looking for what lies in between
Those ideas that were not at the forefront of my mind.
In due time they become a poem, a story, a song
Something my heart knew all along
Something my mind can barely grasp
A fleeting thought that will pass
I need to catch it while it lasts.

Energy transformed
Through the mental storm
As I was once forewarned
Creativity can’t be ignored.

I have to write a paper for school and I'm procrastinating in a productive way. I feel better that I wrote something though maybe now I can write my paper easier!!

I literally just stumbled across this from the 'newest' bit on the main page and it caught my attention.

I think you're a lot better at this than you realise. Your syntax is excellent, you can keep the flow, the meter, the rhythm.

Maybe try something that has no structured rhyme scheme one time? I think by trying to funnel your creativity into ordered structure you're compromising expression a tiny bit. See what happens.

Nice, snappy rhythm. Two thing that struck me as odd was:

Looking for what lies [inbetween and]
Those ideas that were not at the forefront of my mind.

did you mean not to have a space between "in & between"
and secondly, the "and" at the end of the sentence seems unnecesary.

If I'm wrong could you explain your choices :)

Fixed the "in between" error that was an accident. The and at the end of the sentence was because i was trying to rhyme "screening" with "inbetween and" - if read fast (at least with my city accent) it produces a similar sound. But it actually sounds good without the and as well and kind of gives a different meaning. With the and there its more like one sentence "Looking for what lies inbetween and those ideas that were not at the forefront of my mind." But without the and its more like "Looking for what lies inbetween - those ideas that were not at the forefront of my mind." I'm not sure which sounds better what do you think?
